I hold your truth to be self evident.

“School officials” who perpetrate this type of outrage should be fired, sued, prosecuted, and imprisoned.

“School officials” who perpetrate this type of outrage should be fired, sued, prosecuted, and imprisoned; then fired again, publicly, at the stake.

There, fixed it.

Since children subjected to “gender-affirming care” tend to end up as sterilized adults, it shocks the hell out of my conscience for children to be on a school-administered sterilization track without their parents’ knowledge or informed consent.

And, when the data is unskewed and the numbers unfudged, it's recognized that children going "trans" actually suicide much more often than those allowed to get through their adolescent phases naturally.

"Bailiff; whack these 'educators' pee-pees on their way out to the prison transports."

Any adult involved in promoting child castration should get the death penalty for crimes against humanity.

If that means mass execution of public school teachers, so be it.

Defendants did not act with intent to injure. To the contrary, they sought to help the child.

This is an excellent example of the logical fallacy of begging the question, in this case the question of whether the so-called gender transition of a child will in fact help that child. There's a lot of evidence that it will not.

God bless these parents for standing up for not just their own child, but, millions of children in these commie-run indoctrination stations, across our fruited plains.

And, may God guide SCOTUS, and, protect PARENTS, on this very crucial ruling.

Thank you for posting tumblindice.

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals reasoned, “Defendants did not act with intent to injure. To the contrary, they sought to help [??? emphasis added] the child. ... “


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

With one reservation dealing with alleged parental child abuse, examples of this further down, another exception regarding juvenile delinquency, it is biblically and therefore constitutionally supported for Christian parents in good standing to decide if the intentions of school officials for their children are acceptable or not imo.

From related threads...

Regarding the limited scope of public school authority in the context of 1st Amendment religious protections, consider that Mark 7:1-13 for example, particularly verse 13, shows that Jesus reprimanded the religious leaders of his time for driving a wedge between parents and their children with unscriptural rules, effectively nullifying the "Honor your Father and Mother" Commandment in that example.

So if religious authorities don't have a scriptural basis to interfere with parental authority, neither can state or federal governments easily breach such authority since such a protection is reasonably found under the umbrella of constitutionally protected religious expression imo, at least for Christians.

On the other hand, it's good that parental rights are not expressly constitutionally protected since some "parents" do not deserve to be parents imo.

Yes, “spare the rod and spoil the child.” But also heed that Ephesians 6:4 teaches us that the Holy Spirit led Paul to warn fathers not to exasperate their children.

Next, note that the states have never amended the Constitution to make education a constitutionally enumerated right. So while I'm not trying to undermine the need for the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic, theoretically, a given state's majority voters could eliminate their state's requirement for education imo.

10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people [emphasis added].

Agreed. My take on this is that most who present as transexuals are psychotics seeking some sort of relief from the attendant misery. Psychotics have elevated suicide rates compared to non-psychotics. Giving psychotics “gender-affirming care” rather than treatment for their mental illness, would seem to raise the likelihood of suicide. Conceivably there are situations where “gender affirming care” is appropriate, but mostly it is malpractice with dire long-term consequences.

I worked kitchen duties at an Outback restaurant for a few years. The manager wanted to know who I thought were the best servers on staff at the time.

"That young man Lee, hands down. Efficient, polite, never screws up orders and never complains."

Boss looks at me strangely and says "Lee's not a dude. She's a girl." Turns out Lee was one of the true rare hermaphrodites who just accepted it and was trying to make her way through life looking up.

After long rummaging through memory I was certain I never referred to Lee as any gender (dude or babe, etc.), but know she was subjected to that every day by the other unknowing employees. I never consciously note what restrooms people use, either. I still feel badly for her plight in life that she didn't ask for and am inspired by her "taking lemons and making lemonade".

These parents and kids behaving as if acting or surgically altering oneself to be the other sex is an insult to those rare people who have no choice in the matter at all. Their self-indulging antics in pursuit of higher rungs on their social ladder only foments misunderstanding and derision upon those actually stuck genetically somewhere between.
